Associate Counsel for Human Rights Watch, RICHARD DICKER. He'll discuss the situation in Nigeria. Last week poet, playwright and minority rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was sentenced to death and killed, along with eight other men. Saro-Wiwa lead the "Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People," a movement to help the impoverished Ogoni. They had been fighting for rights to petroleum reserves and compensation for environmental damage by Shell Oil Company, a lead oil operator in the country. The deaths have been condemned by many world leaders. (WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER INTERVIEW ON THIS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW).
